Now, I'm all for the freedom of defending your country... But am I the only one thinking that this is presented in a bit too much of a good light? Like, what is the title supposed to make me feel? If the nationalities were reversed, would this have been posted here still?

I genuinely thank you for sharing this info, but I can't help feeling uncomfortable reading about atrocious killing devices in a technology thread.

Someone go through the GC and tell me how this isn't a war crime now? This seems a lot like napalm or WP.

Yes, Russia's worse, and we all know it. But when we're done fighting monsters we shouldn't have become them.
